SLJ Review of Immigrants Build America
Gr 6 Up—This series offers a refreshing and positive portrayal of immigrants in contrast to the negative rhetoric often used by elected officials and political candidates. It highlights the vital contributions of diverse immigrant communities to the creation of modern America. Readers will learn about both small and large businesses founded by immigrants, uncover the stories behind Asian American owned nail salons and Cambodian doughnut shops, and explore cultural milestones like the Harlem Renaissance. The series even shares the story of the Welsh immigrant who created Wordle. While it doesn’t shy away from discussing the harsh treatment of immigrants throughout U.S. history and the geopolitical factors driving mass immigration, the tone is celebratory. It showcases how immigration has enriched and revitalized communities across the country. Each book includes immigration statistics, source notes, additional resources, and an index. VERDICT A must-read highly recommended.
